Ingredients

½ to 1 tsp sea salt or to taste
black pepper to taste
⅓ tsp garlic powder optional, to taste

cheddar cheese or fast melting cheese, low fat
shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced onion, pickles

homemade Big Mac Sauce

Instructions

Prepare the homemade Big Mac Sauce following my recipe here.
Add ground beef, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to a large bowl. Using a fork or spatula, gently stir to season the meat, being careful not to over-mix. Over-mixing can cause the patties to become dry, so mix just enough to incorporate the seasonings.
Divide the beef into 6 equal portions (about 2.6 ounces or 75 grams each) and place them over a plate. Refrigerate while preheating the griddle or skillet.
Preheat a griddle or a skillet over medium-high heat.
When the griddle is hot, place a portion of the beef on the surface and top with a tortilla. Using a smashing tool, flatten the beef as thin as possible. Let cook undisturbed for 3 to 5 minutes, then flip and cook on the other side for 2 minutes more.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onion and pickles. Remove from the heat and serve smashed burger tacos with a drizzle of homemade Big Mac Sauce.
